Terrestrial TonesBlasted

Two roommates who like to stay up late and explore the outer limits of electronic sound sounds like a ticket to Navel Gazing Park. But if these roommates happen to be Eric Copeland (of Black Dice) and Dave Portner (Avey Tare of Animal Collective), youre pretty much guaranteed the results are going to be interesting. And they are. On Blasted, the first publicly released collaboration between these friends (depicted with thousand-yard smiles on the cover), Portner and Copeland take their glitched-out pursuits to their furthest regions and dont turn back for air. With slowly building organic stomps, swirling otherworldly sounds and rattling bass patterns, Blasted is a playful journey to the edges of electro-organic freedom, a sometimes mellow, often intense off-road drive through a spooky forest where rejected man-made creatures congregate to plot their next party. In terms of their parental groups, TerTones are far closer in spirit to Black Dices electronic pulsing than Animal Collectives sweetly psych explorations, but this almost goes without saying given TerTones complete disregard for even the slightest flirtations with pop or any other sense of traditional form. This is a homemade project by two dudes who can feel the energy moving through their living room and arent afraid to try to capture and contain it on tape. The results are a whole lot of sound fun and energy.
